I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Abels for a few years now, and have always been very pleased with her attention to my medical needs. She is a great listener and always considers my concerns when decisions are made concerning my care. Thank you Dr. Abels for being the best physician anyone could have the pleasure to assist with their care.

We discussed my concerns, agreed to have mammogram & additional tests, set up next appointment in the fall for needed immunizations. Was advised to drink more water, which I will try.

She is the only doctor that I know will do what is needed to treat my illness. It is too bad that she is so busy and sometimes I have to have a different doctor. I have was always had good treatment with the on call doctors.

In my opinion a doctor receives no higher praise than when a mother refers her daughters for the Dr's care. I have referred my daughters to Dr Ables because she takes such great care of me.

Cannot get in when needed. One nurse is rude, doesn't have time for you and makes you feel like a real bother. Front desk...transfers you all over till you give up. Everyone seems indefferent.

I've had a very hard time trying to find a doctor that I like real well and that would pay attention to what I had to say and not try to rush me through and not try to help me with my problems and Dr Laura abels listen to everything I said and she got me set up with the doctors that I needed to go to and I'm very pleased with my visit
